Fishing Report For Roosevelt Lake Arizona October 31, 2012
I fished 9 mornings in the month of October and will breifly report each day. On the 1rst we caught 4 crappie across the from Cholla at the mouth of Methodist Cove. On the 3rd we caught 4 crappie and 1 bass on the west side of Salle Mae. This was the only venture on the Salt with the rest of the days on the Tonto end. I started to feel good about the BHCC when on the we boated 11 very nice crappie without catching more than one on any one spot. They came from Methodist to Glen Cove. On the 8th I went to the Tonto buoy line but caught only 1 crappie. At the BHCC on the 13th the Thursday night storm knocked the dog out of my fish. They did'nt go anywhere but buried down in the brush! We caught 4 bass. On the 15th we caught only 1 crappie around Methodist and on the 17th and 24th 1 crappie each morning around Methodist. Today, the 31rst, we caught 4 good crappie and 1 bass around Glen Cove. All fish for the month were caught slow verticle trolling drop-shot double minnow rigs in 16 to 18 feet of water about four to five feet off the bottom. The lake dropped 3 1/2 feet from the 1rst to the 31rst so we had to keep adjusting. It ain't Bartlett but it is what it is. I think they quit pulling water today so I really think it will improve when the lake has a few days to stabilize. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!......Art Chamberlin
